My family is all about the alters mostly because of my mom she's alwahs setting one up, it's a np big part of African tradition too. Lovely post, so glad to see Bridgette still contributing one of my fav free people bloggers!

I love altars.....they infuse a space with an ethereal light and a sublime feeling of peace and harmony....they transform a simple room into a sanctuary.. I'd love to fill every nook and cranny in our home with them....time to get busy! : ) Thank you for you beautiful post!

Tomato powder is also really good for removing inflammation and redness from skin, known to help treat acne and sunburn. This would be a great makeup product for any sufferers of acne or sensitive skin!

Such an interesting remedy! I wonder if cinnamon also has some skin benefits?

What a great diy! I have been using dryer balls for some time now & recently wondered how I could make my own. Thank you for the great post! I've been missing the diy's!

This is an awesome idea. I stopped using dryer sheets a few years back for the same reasons, but I switched to spiky plastic dryer balls that are shaped like hedgehogs lol. When they wear out I might try your wool ball method. The scented sheets sound like a great idea though -- if I can find a scent my husband and I agree on :)

I love the brami with levi's - super cute. I definitely relate living in black and a big coat, but I also love her thought of buying fashion is like buying art1

A few weekends ago my boyfriend and I went to an old theatre and listened to a big band concert. It was the coolest thing! An hour before two dancers taught everyone how to waltz. During the performance anyone and everyone could go up on stage and dance, and we spun the night away. Music brings people together, and creates a positive and memorable experience. :)

I'm living in a rather big city, but was growing up in a small village. So for me, hiking and wandering through the woods and to the top of monuntains is one of my favoutite ways to recharge.
